official chick car?
Sorry guys, but in the philadelphia area, for every 3 female drivers I see 1 male driver. What does this say about our car? That it's a chick car or that girls can appreciate it too?

It says that the women end up taking the nice car in the household
I know that the TSX was originally going to be mine, and my wife was going to take my car. But somehow- and I'm not really sure how this happened - it has become hers.
So there is one of the female-driven TSXs you are seeing in the Philly area.

Could it possibly be that you notice chicks driving cars 3x more often than middle-aged guys driving cars?

Actually, I'd bet that more females will be in the TSX than the G35 or some other competitors. If you look at the gender balance of most cars on the road, women seem to flock to the smaller more tossable vehicles rather than the big powerful ones (and, no, I'm not being sexist, I'm just making an observation based on what is on the road right now). I'm not saying we are all driving the equivalent of a White VW Cabriolet or a Lexus ES300, but I think we'll see a fairly even gender balance in this vehicle.

The TSX will be my family car...Perhaps that's why more females are driving it.

And it turns out that a good portion of those male drivers are gay

I think that alot of females are attracted to the car because they are less concerned with straighline raw power (which many guys feel the tsx lacks) and are more concerned with a nice looking interior.
(Most of the TSX's I've seen have been driven by women).

Personally, I couldn't give a rat if a lot of women drive the TSX. I LOVE my car and I can understand why lots of women who have good taste in vehicles opt for it.

Some people say the RSX and integra are chick cars too ...but I see plenty of guys driving them.
I don't think the TSX is a "chick car", I think its just not a "guy car" ...if that makes sense. Most honda/acuras are neutral in this way.

So are all these TSX driving chicks at least good looking?
The only female I've seen driving a TSX wax older. It was pulling out of a parking lot... I noticed another CG TSX and was like "wow, another TSX" (at that time I'd only seen like 2 others on the road), as I pulled up next to it, I looked to see who was driving, and then noticed the big dent in the passanger side door/front fender, and then noticed the flat tire she was pulling out of the parking lot on
Seeing the TSX like that made me want to cry! :'(

Sorry DJ, but I don't think the TSX qualifies as a chick car. From what I've seen, it's about 50-50 distribution, and the women tend to be middle aged. When I see a Jetta, I expect to see a decent looking girl driving :-* I doubt that could ever be true about the TSX.
Saw my first new TL yesterday. White, with a middle aged guy driving.

I have never seen a woman driving any of the 6 TSX's I have seen, but oddly enough, 2 of those drivers were over 65 years old. That surprised me more than the man/woman thing. I don't see the TSX's interior appealing to senior citizens?

good list of people to offend B-D ![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
bob- we've got to stop quoting sample sizes now!!
DJ- I have noticed the same thing. Maybe it is a Philly area thing.
I'd feel better if the title of this thread was 'unofficial chick car' though. If Acura is sanctioning it and I missed that, I'm gonna feel pretty dumb

Funny you should say it, since I'm actually surfing right now for a replacement.
Just wanted to pre-empt you...

I'm more of a SUV type of girl, so getting the TSX surprised myself even...What impressed me about the TSX were the looks initially, but I appreciate every aspect...I'd like more power though, not impressed there, but like I said, this is my family car.
And about the looks/age..never ASSume...J/K
I can hold my own...:-* As Mya would say..."I'm single sexy and sweet" ...at the ripe ole age of 27...

As I've said before, if you want to determine the gender of your car, just look underneath. If the car is male, then it is probably not a "chick car."

Can't wait to drive
Well, someone has to drive all those 5AT TSXes
![Wink](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
All joking aside, I've seen some women driving the TSX around LA. I have to say they have good tastes
I think what attracted them to the car because of it's compactness (not a bulky big car which is more "masculine" to some)
My sister likes my car very much too. She currently drives an 98 Integra, and originally she liked the car because it's "small and cute." She said her next car would be something close to the TSX, like the IS300

Second, I'd tell your sis to hold on to that Teg. They are more than just small and cute. Hell, I know a lot of people that would just buy her engine and drop it into a CRX.
btw, did i tell you i wasted a riced-out Mitsubishi Eclipse? complete with "Bad Boy" window decals and everything. fun times.

I personally don't think of it as a chick's car, but I know some guys who do. Buff Daddy for one thinks of the TSX as 'maybe my girlfriend's next car'.
If you value good design, the TSX is a candidate to be your next car, no matter what sex you are. I think it's the best front-wheel-drive sedan on the road today.

I don't lash out at the TSX, I only lash out at TSX owners when they make foolish or questionable statements.

B-D, I never said you lashed out at the TSX. I apologize for mis-remembering the exact relationship you have to the woman who might be interested in a TSX.
